Gather Your Ingredients for Charcoal Chicken Gravy


Before you start, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. Here’s what you will need:


  • Charcoal Chicken Seasoning: This is essential for that signature flavor.

  • Flour: Equal parts to the seasoning is needed to help thicken the gravy.

  • Milk: Use this to achieve your desired consistency.

  • Leftover oil: If you have oil from cooking chicken, it will add an extra layer of flavor.


For example, a typical recipe uses 1/4 cup of each - seasoning and flour, alongside 1 cup of milk. This combination will yield a gravy rich enough for multiple servings.

The Cooking Method


How to Make Charcoal Chicken Gravy Using the Drippings

When you’ve just cooked a beautiful batch of charcoal‑seasoned chicken, don’t waste those flavour‑packed drippings. They’re the secret to a gravy that tastes like it came straight off a rotisserie line. This method keeps things simple, fast, and deeply savoury.

Heat the Pan

Set your pan over medium heat and keep all the leftover chicken drippings right where they are. This is your flavour base. If the pan looks a little dry, add a touch of oil or butter to bring it up to a workable amount.

Build the Roux

Sprinkle in equal parts Charcoal Chicken Seasoning and flour. Stir them into the hot drippings until they form a smooth paste. Let the roux cook for a minute or two — just long enough to toast the flour and unlock the seasoning.

Add the Milk

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking. Start with about a cup and add more until you reach your ideal thickness. The roux will tighten as it cooks, so keep it moving and let it bloom into a silky gravy.

Boost the Flavor

For an even richer finish, add a spoonful of leftover chicken oil as the gravy simmers. It deepens the colour, rounds out the seasoning, and gives the gravy that unmistakable charcoal‑chicken depth.

Pro Tips for Perfect Gravy


  • Taste Test: Always taste your gravy before serving. You might find that a pinch of salt or an extra sprinkle of Charcoal Chicken Seasoning enhances the flavor perfectly.


  • Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can last for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of milk if it thickens too much.


  • Experiment: Don’t hesitate to try additional ingredients! Sauteed onions or garlic can elevate your gravy to a whole new level.
